This was a very reasonable question.
Even Ice Storm, who was well-versed in Turan customs, nodded repeatedly.
Over the thousands of years, adventurers who had ventured deep into the Holy Mountain in an attempt to obtain the first bucket of gold had appeared one after another.
However, because the risks and opportunities in the exploration of the Holy Mountain were ridiculously high, those who were willing to explore were either those whose clans had been destroyed by the enemy, those with deep blood feuds, those exiled warriors who had been chased out by their clans, or those who had just emerged and were eager to succeed.
In short, they were those who could not quickly gain strength through normal channels, or those who had a rotten life and deserved to die.
In the Earth era, there was once a philosopher who said, “Take a gamble and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle!”
He already had nothing, so why would he be afraid of losing everything?
However, the “Horn of destruction”definitely did not belong to such a situation.
He had already climbed up to the position of the Lion clan, no, the number one person in the Gold clan.
Even if he had the same fortuitous encounter, talent, and the blade of destruction that wielded a peerless saber, he would still be faintly suppressed by him.
What reason did he have to take the risk and explore the Holy Mountain?
To say the least, even if the horn of destruction really had the elegant interest to explore the Holy Mountain, it should have chosen a more stable time.
The Gold clan was suppressing the Great Horn Legion’s war on the surface, and it was in full swing. Moreover, the situation wasn’t too favorable for the Gold clan.
With the Bloodhoof clan and the other four clans watching from the side, the Tiger clan and the Lion Clan, who were at the top of the food chain, were also in competition.
The overall situation was like an explosive barrel under the scorching sun.
As the great chief, how could the Horn of destruction dare to abandon everything and go deep into the sacred mountain to seek his own death?
As expected, not long after he left, the Tiger tribe and the Lion tribe started a fierce battle. With the intelligence of the Horn of destruction, there was no reason why it couldn’t even foresee such a danger, right?
Meng Chao and ice storm both cast doubtful gazes at the platinum embrace.
The platinum embrace frowned, and every hair on his face was hesitating.
He knew that if he continued talking, he would be talking about a secret that only a few lion nobles knew.
It was also possible that the glory of the sacred mountain would be tarnished by two lowlifes who were born in the rebel army of the rat people. He might even incur the wrath of the ancestral spirits.
However, the more hurried and weak ‘Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep’sounds that came from his heart left him no choice but to make up his mind and tell the whole truth.
The trip to the sacred mountain of the Horn of destruction was related to kanus the jackal.
Before kanus the Jackal became the wolf king, he was under the command of the Horn of destruction and commanded a very secretive excavation team.
He was specifically in charge of excavating the lost temples buried in various parts of Tulanze for the Horn of destruction.
The temples were the gifts left by the Tulan ancestors to their descendants.
They contained the extraordinary technology and mysterious power of the ancient Tulanze civilization that originated from the stars.
A tribe could often rise up around a temple and form a town. They could even gather the four forces to form a huge clan.
Originally, there were temples of all sizes scattered all over Tulanze. The total number of temples exceeded a thousand.
However, the vast majority of temples were built ten thousand years ago. With the erosion of time and the poison of war, they were gradually destroyed or even annihilated.
This was especially true during the “Great Extinction Order Era”3,000 years ago.
This was the era when the land of Holy Light was the most powerful, and Tu Lanze was the weakest.
It was said that the god of the holy light humans had issued a “Great extinction order”to the depths of every holy light human’s brain.
This made the holy light humans, who usually didn’t have as much fighting spirit as high-level orcs, become crazy and fearless believers.
They roared and charged toward Turanze, claiming that they would destroy all existences who did not believe in the holy light under the starry sky.
The Holy Light Army attacked the city and destroyed everything they saw along the way, wiping out all traces left by the high-level orcs on this land.
Even the hundred blade city in the past was destroyed by the Holy Light Humans’invasion this time.
As for the temple, it was naturally regarded as an evil lair for the holy light humans to worship evil gods. It was either completely purified by the holy light and holy water, or it was blasted into dust by war hammers and even cannons.
Although the high-level orcs relied on their unyielding willpower to barely block the Holy Light Army’s attack.
However, more than three to five hundred temples were destroyed or even destroyed by the Holy Light Army. The losses could be said to be disastrous.
There were also a large number of temples that were protected by the ancestral spirits and used incredible methods to hide underground. They even directly disappeared into the void.
The tribes that worshiped these temples were completely wiped out by the Holy Light Army in the fierce battle. No one knew how to find and open these lost temples.
When the Holy Light Army’s offensive reached its limit, the logistics supply line was stretched too long and revealed a flaw. Finally, they were met with the fierce counterattack of the high-level orcs. They had no choice but to retreat resentfully. After that, the Tulan civilization’s three thousand years of reconstruction.., had just begun.
In three thousand years, of course, hundreds of lost temples had been discovered by the people again.
The resources, weapons, and strength in the temples had also given the people who discovered them the rewards they deserved.
Countless nobodies had inherited the power of the lost temples and become the leaders of their tribes. They had even become the founders of New Tribes.
They were qualified to carve their glorious deeds in the new heroic epic. After the heroic sacrifice, they were worshipped and worshipped by thousands of successors as the ‘ancestral spirits’.
Even today, many Tulan people still believed that the lost temples were far from being fully excavated.
In the depths of the Earth, on the peaks of the mountains, in the center of the Great Lake, in the mist and swamps, and in mysterious areas that mortals could not easily reach, there were still hundreds of lost temples hidden, they were waiting for the explorers who were rich in wisdom, courage, and strength to inherit the enormous legacy that had been dormant for three thousand years.
The five clans were all looking for the lost temples.
In a sense, this was also an arms race to strengthen the clans.
The hundreds of clans in the five clans, whether it was the Lion clan, the Tiger clan, the Tauren clan, or the wild boar clan, all had their own very secretive ‘lost temple exploration troop’.
Even the Horn of destruction kept an unknown earth-digging team. Moreover, they deliberately didn’t let the Lion Clan Warriors lead the team and let ‘Jackal’kanus lead the team.
On one hand, the earth-digging team didn’t belong to the gold clan, or even the furious Lion clan. Instead, it completely belonged to the Horn of destruction itself.
Even if they did find the lost temple, most of the benefits would fall into the hands of the Horn of destruction and be shared with their blood-related brothers and confidants like the platinum embrace.
After sharing, the Horn of destruction would be in complete control of whether or not a piece of leftovers would leak out from the gaps of their fingers for the whole clan to share.
Moreover, exploring the lost temple was very dangerous.
It would be fine if they could not find the lost temple, but once they found it, they would have to face the numerous traps inside the temple and the ever-changing, life-or-death tests.
Many trials required hundreds of thousands of lives to fill.
It was obviously not suitable to use the lives of the proud and precious furious lion warriors to fill the bottomless pit of the lost temple.
It would be much more appropriate to have “Jackal”kanus step in to swindle, coerce, and lure, recruit a large number of fallen warriors from the Wolf clan and other tribes, and use their lives to fill the bottomless pit.
Thirdly, and most importantly, canus the jackal seemed to have some talent in finding the lost temple.
Although his combat strength was ordinary, he had a nose that was sharper than anyone else’s. He could sniff out the soil of different ages and conditions, and he could even deduce thousands of years ago based on the bloodstains and rust in the soil, what kind of fierce battle had happened on this soil.
Before the Jackal, this was how the name “Corpse-eating dog”came about.
Many people mocked kanus. If he didn’t like digging three feet underground and gnawing on corpses that were buried deep underground, how could he grow such a sensitive nose?
Because he was lucky enough to explore a few lost temples and survive, the jackal kanus had a deep understanding of the defense system of the lost temples and the mechanisms that were made using ancient Tulan technology.
Since he had secretly appointed canus the jackal as the commander of the excavation team, the former ghoul dog had helped the horn of destruction excavate more than twenty lost temples.
Although most of the lost temples were not large in scale and had been destroyed by the war and the erosion of time, the artifacts and secret medicines sealed inside were greatly weakened.
However, it still made the Horn of Destruction’s strength soar. Not only did it secure the throne of the Lion King, but it also firmly grasped the authority of the chief of the Gold clan in its hands.
In order to reward the loyalty of canus the Jackal, the title of the Master of the Wolf Clan fell to the former ghoul dog.
After becoming the Wolf King, canus the Jackal was very clear about his position.
Not only did he not feel proud of himself, but he also had other thoughts when he saw the large number of wolf cavalrymen under him.
Instead, he was more loyal and obedient to “Horn of destruction”and always remembered that he was a person who did “Dirty work”and “Wet work.”.
Therefore, he used the authority of the “Wolf King”to force more wolf warriors to help “Horn of destruction”excavate the lost temple.
He had gone deep into the wilderness several times, but all of them had suffered great losses.
While the Wolf Race hated canus, Horn of destruction naturally trusted this loyal dog even more.
His trust was quickly rewarded.
While the Great Horn Rebellion was in full swing, canus didn’t stop exploring the lost temple.
This time, his claws reached into the depths of the sacred mountain.
During a top secret exploration mission, he actually discovered the legendary sacred mountain temple and the remnant of the fireball that carried all the hopes of the Tulan ancestors and descended from the sky through the starry sky!
